The growth of organic nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium trichloroacetate (2A5CPTCA) has been synthesized and single crystals have been grown from methanol solvent by slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals were subjected to various characterization analyses in order to find out the suitability for device fabrication. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 2A5CPTCA crystallizes in monoclinic system with the space group Cc. The grown crystal was further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis to find out the functional groups. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a research technique that exploits the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei. The optical transparency window in the visible and near-IR (200--1100 nm) regions was found to be good for NLO applications. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis were used to study its thermal properties. The powder second harmonic generation efficiency measurement with Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) radiation shows that the highest value when compared with the standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystal.

A new metal–organic crystal, β-alanine cadmium bromide monohydrate (β-ACBM) has been grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals have been subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction to determine the crystal structure. The β-ACBM crystallized in monoclinic system, which belongs to the space group P21/c witha= 8.6734(6) Å,b= 13.9451(8) Å,c= 7.6801(5) Å, β = 103.713(2)o, volume = 902.44(10) Å3,Z= 4, calculated density = 2.792 Mg/m3,F(000) = 704, absorption coefficient = 11.231 mm−1, the finalR= 0.0252 and wR2 = 0.0601 for 2065 observed reflections [I > 2sigma(I)]. FT-IR spectroscopy analysis was carried out in order to identify the functional groups of the title compound. The presence of proton and carbon in the β-ACBM was confirmed by1H and13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis. The UV-Vis-NIR transmittance spectrum has been recorded for the grown β-ACBM crystal. The refractive index of β-ACBM crystal was determined by Brewster's angle method using He–Ne laser.
